Consul, Senators,

Firstly I must apologise. It appears I interpreted more into motions #6.1 and #6.8 than was intended by their proposers.

It was my assumption that both could run together but in priority….Motion #6.1 was to FINALISE the destruction of Gaul with all haste with then Motion #6.8 insisting that the troops return to Republican soil AFTER they have completed the task which was set them with the Consuls election to office.

id est, the completed raid of Gaul. Please note I voted against those motions insisting we retained control of any Gallic regions.

As to Motion #6.6 – it is clear that the Senate have not see recent maps of the Consuls current troops disposition and I trust that the Senate will take the Consuls assurance that he will start to move troops into a position READY to undertake Motion #6.6 as it is physically impossible for him to actually complete such a task.

Last I looked our troops were not mounted on Pegasus.

Please Consul, understand that if a task is beyond you, the Senate will not hold it against you.

I ask the Senate Speaker to re-instate Motion #6.1 and allow the Consul to complete the task that he Senate voted him in for BEFORE complying with Motion #6.8.

Destroy Gaul, then return home and build. Consolidate your troops and prepare for acting upon Motion #6.6.

It will be the next Consuls task to complete Motion #6.6 it is clear.

I would imagine that my Master will be honoured to undertake scouting for the mission in Motion #6.6, and likewise will not be in a position to undertake such a task until the next Consulship.
